Calling all brides and grooms-to-be! If you are recently engaged and have picked out who you plan on having in your bridal and groomsmen party, host and ‘ask’ party and go the extra mile by presenting each of them with your very own bridesmaid and groomsman DIY gift box. Keep reading to see what I included in my gift boxes.
The Bridesmaid DIY Gift Box
Suggested items you will need:
- BOX – I decided to go with a classic white gloss gift box.
- PAPER CRINKLE – depending on your preferred color scheme, I went with white paper crinkle. For alternative filling, you can add tissue paper or tulle.
- FLOWERS – tuck in a small bouquet of flowers in your gift box. It is such a special touch. To keep the flowers moist, cut half of a paper towel, dampen and wrap the stems and cover with plastic wrap. You can than cover the plastic wrap with tissue paper and tie a ribbon around it.
- SWEETS – whether it’s candy, chocolate, or her favorite flavored macarons, add your besties favorite treat.
- NAIL POLISH – add the color polish you would like your bridesmaid(s) to wear on your special day.
- COLOR SWATCHES – give your bridesmaid(s) a sneak peek at your wedding colors.
- CHAMPAGNE – Bring on the bubbly! After all, it’s a celebration and individually-sized champagne bottles are perfect to say toast to your bridesmaid(s) happily accepting your request.
- ‘GREETING CARD – write a special handwritten note expressing how important it is to you to have her by your side on your big day. You can find my greeting card design for “Will you be my Bridesmaid?”, by clicking here.
The Groomsman DIY Gift Box
Suggested items you will need:
- BOX – I went with a more masculine color scheme and chose a kraft colored gift box.
- PAPER CRINKLE – I also chose coordinating kraft colored paper crinkle.
- LIQUOR – Cheers! I went with whisky but choose your preferred liquor to include in your groomsman gift box.
- CIGAR – whisky and a cigar go hand-in-hand so it was a perfect gentleman’s choice.
- SOMETHING SALTY – for a guy, I think a salty snack is a better way to go – it pairs well with liquor and a cigar.
- BOW TIE OR NECKTIE – If you happen to know your wedding colors, why not present your groomsman with a bow tie or necktie he will be wearing on your wedding day. If you don’t know wedding colors yet, no problem. Gifting a bow tie or necktie that he can wear for your engagement or rehearsal dinner is just as nice.
- GREETING CARD – now I know guys don’t want to get all sensitive and write anything much inside the greeting card but a simple line that reads… “Hoping I can count on you” or “What do you say, bro?” are simple sentiments and to the point. You can find my groomsman greeting card by clicking here.
Have fun picking out items for your bridesmaid and groomsman DIY gift box – they will surely appreciate it!
